The Munich agreement is completely behind the scenes. Why a political farce?

Czechoslovakia was called the seventh largest industrial country in the capitalist world before World War II. Such a country chose to accept the Munich agreement. Perhaps many car captains are not sure about the full name of Munich Agreement, which is about Czechoslovakia ceding Sudetenland to Germany. The full name is straightforward, and people can see the undisguised faces of the countries involved in that year.

The most ridiculous thing about the Munich Agreement is that Czechoslovakia, as a party, was excluded from the negotiations, which were held between British Prime Minister Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Daladier, German dictator Hitler and fascist Italian dictator Mussolini. The outcome of the negotiations is not much different from what Hitler asked for.

Place of negotiation

Czechoslovakia accepted the Munich Agreement not so much because of the pressure from Germany as from Britain and France. The French told the representative of Czechoslovakia that this was a judgment that could not be appealed or changed. Germany joined several countries in ruling that another country must surrender its territory.

After returning to England, Chamberlain publicly declared that he "brought back a decent peace". The sentence "I brought back peace for a whole generation" has also become one of Chamberlain's deepest impressions. The four signatories to the Munich Agreement, including Chamberlain, obviously did not have a good result. Chamberlain lost his position as prime minister because of the bankruptcy of appeasement policy; Daladier was imprisoned by the Germans for a long time. Not to mention Hitler and Mussolini, the Munich agreement further gave birth to their ambitions and eventually lost their lives.

The choice of Chamberlain and Daladier certainly has its profound historical background, but the so-called peace at the expense of Czechoslovakia's sovereignty has cheered the people of Britain and France. A lot of information recorded the scene at that time, and the British people who greeted Chamberlain seemed to have won a total victory. They were afraid of a war as cruel as World War I, but they soon ushered in World War II, which was even more cruel than World War I. ..

On the other hand, all pots cannot be carried by Britain and France. At that time, Germany and its army were far less powerful than after 1939. You know, even at the height of World War II, Czechoslovakia provided a considerable proportion of military industry, and the seventh largest industrial country in the capitalist world did not just talk about it. Some people describe the Austro-Hungarian army as Hungarians with Czechoslovakian weapons under German command.

This statement reflects what kind of industrial capacity Czechoslovakia has inherited. It is pointed out that Czechoslovakia has 40 elite army divisions and a large number of heavy weapons. The evaluation of the French general pointed out that the soldiers, officers and equipment of the Czechoslovak army were excellent. Some people even think that Czechoslovakia's military strength can be compared with that of Italy. At the same time, Czechoslovakia has a large number of fortifications in the border area, which is known as Ma Qinuo in the East.

Regrettably, the Czechs have no confidence to denounce the Munich Agreement as a piece of waste paper, and the betrayal of Britain and France destroyed their spirit of resistance. Shortly after Czechoslovakia accepted the Munich Agreement, the Germans invaded and dismembered the whole Czechoslovakia. Part of the territory was divided, and the rest was divided into two parts-the protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and the Slovak state.

Some people say that Czechs will lose even if they resist, and the result is better if they don't resist. Is the truth really that beautiful? The people of Czechoslovakia did not suffer too many casualties in the German invasion, but don't forget that in the tragic World War II, the people of Czechoslovakia not only provided war materials for Germany, but also needed to provide servant troops. Didn't the casualties of those servant troops come from the initial non-resistance?

Many Czechoslovakian tanks have become German trophies.

What's more, if Czechoslovakia resists, it will bring more variables to history than many people think. First, whether Hitler's military adventure could go on smoothly, he was not so dominant in Germany at that time; Second, how much the Germans will lose and whether they will change the attitude of Britain and France not to intervene; Third, whether the destruction of Czechoslovakia's industrial capacity by the war will affect the expansion of Germany's strength.

If Czechoslovakia has the world's largest population, the world's largest army, the world's second GDP and the world's second national defense investment, then it is confident to turn the Munich Agreement into a piece of waste paper. Of course, besides self-confidence, determination and courage are also essential!
